The EU’s values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law and respect for human rights are the values of Scotland.

The best future for Scotland is rejecting the folly of Brexit and rejoining the European Union as a member state.

Let me get this straight: the Cass review wasn’t peer-reviewed yet was relied on by the government for major policy decisions - but now a critique of that review has been peer-reviewed and published, giving it more authority. Will government now be relying on this for policy? We all know the answer.
Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

Absolutely correct to save British Steel. But fuck you bigly Scottish Grangemouth. Oil producing Jockland can just lose our only refinery. Truth is. London doesn't give a shit about helping Scotland. London just takes from Scotland. Better Together was always utter BS.

So many reasons for #ScottishIndependence
Did you know that Westminster gets more revenue per head from Scotland than NI, Wales and 6 of the 9 English regions? Of course Scotland can afford to be independent.

Well, economics are important but folk vote with the heart as well as the head.

We need to understand the economics but make the case for #ScottishIndependence with a positive burst of hope, pride, and potential.

Why is the Labour government considering nationalising British Steel's Scunthorpe plant owned by Chinese owner Jingye.

When that option wasn't open to either Grangemouth or Port Talbot, both equally important to the Scottish and Welsh economies.

Le Pen's ban from running for office is neither an attack on democracy nor a boon for the far-right. It is a move by an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law, protect the public from political corruption, and shore up French liberal democracy.
